Quotes About TDD

The Three Laws of TDD You are not allowed to write any production code until you have first written a failing unit test. You are not allowed to write more of a unit test than is sufficient to fail—and not compiling is failing. You are not allowed to write more production code that is sufficient to pass the currently failing unit test.

If you're happy slamming some code together that more or less works and you're happy never looking at the result again, TDD is not for you. TDD rests on a charmingly naïve geekoid assumption that if you write better code, you'll be more successful. TDD helps you to pay attention to the right issues at the right time so you can make your designs cleaner, you can refine your designs as you learn.
